thrashed and trashed Centipede cocktail Gone
Good luck Tim!
Sorry B1
Pictures don't lie - this thing is in Why would you ever buy that thing? condition.
But it does seem to be an original Centipede.
How would I know if any of it works - this is the way it came. The monitor had some dust or leaf debris, the trackballs have had the bearings removed and the rest of it is in general - hasn't worked for years status.
It is not taking up much room so it hasn't bothered me too much - but if I ever do decide to fix vids - I think I need something a little closer to working to start with.
Game is in Barrie and FS or FT

Surf's up space ponies, I'm making gravy without the lumps.
pics did not show up but followed the links. Game looks very rough. Check for neck glow on the monitor. Centipede boards can be a bitch to troubleshoot, I had several that gave me fits.

I'm mostly into EM pinball repair, so a broken down pin would probably sway me best. Wouldn't make my wife very happy...
Or maybe something I can slip a 60-in1 into

Unless the wood has water damage/swelling (t-molding areas?), I'd say it definitely has potential for a nice restoration project. Will take a bit of time but might be worth it. The screen glass might be too scratched though.
What's especially great about these Atari cocktails is the legs can be raised so you can play standing or use bar stools. Great side table for space-limited gamerooms. I love my Warlords CT and Track 'n' Field CT for this reason.
And Centi purists will cringe but I wouldn't bother with the old boards but just throw a 60-in-1 in there and play Centipede and Millipede and remove the rest. Or squeeze in a joy and keep the Pacs as well.

No pinball here (yet). What I'd have for trade you may not be interested in, which is a working cocktail (Jamma wired), no game board however.

PCB looks decent - if it isn't working, I'm sure I could get it working - I've repaired a half dozen Centipede boards in the past (Atari boards seem to be my specialty - they are very different to troubleshoot compared to most other boards )

But by doing so you'd be breaking copyright laws... and we wouldn't want to do that now would we. Shame on you for endorsing such a practice.

Technically (being a guru in software copyright because of my profession), Section 29 of the Canadian Copyright Act (The Fair Dealings Clause), including the recent amendments, exempt Canadians from copyright infringement when using *in this case* ROMs for personal and/or research use only.
If we were American, however, we'd likely be sued for billions and put on a terrorist watch list
